Development of Doom

The development of Doom was an approximately fifteen month process undertaken by id Software beginning on September 18, 1992, with prior research projects spanning back to the prior month of May, and ending with the game's first release as shareware on December 10, 1993. It was the most extensive development process undertaken by the company up to that point, and required use of—and even in-house development of—new technologies, methodologies, and utility software.

Doom was developed on NeXT workstations, under the NeXTSTEP operating system. The final game engine was programmed in C, and the editing tools were written in Objective-C.
